Applying For Short Term Loans

A loan, just like any other debt instrument is a transaction between a lender and a borrower at a fixed interest rate. These loans can be both commercial loans and personal loans and are available for various time periods and at interest rates which depends on the loan amount and the type of loan taken. These loans are also called “payday loans” and they come with higher interest rates and other fees, when compared with the long term loans.
